We had a lunar
eclipse here in Erits, Israel, Yudal
Elo, otherwise known as a blood red
moon. It was a shiny red as could have
been witnessed over here from Ers
Israel. It was a full moon because it
was the 15th of the month. And the way
that it works is because planet Earth
blocks the sun from its reflection to
the moon. It blocks the reflection of
the sun to the moon. And suddenly slowly
but surely you see the moon incredibly
disappear. Disappear. The reason for the
color of the blood red is because
through the atmosphere of the earth it
defracts all the blue color and it
leaves more or less a red brownish type
of haze which left for an incredible
vision that we were able to view over
here only in Israel not in America.
And already tells us that when the when
we have a solar eclipse what's known as
that is a sim for the whole world for
all the briots of the world all the
people in the world not necessarily for
a Israel as opposed to when we have a
lunar eclipse that is specified for
Israel that was told for Israel for Ben
Israel that it is a bad time for them
and the reason is because the sun is
parallel to the as the kes right
as opposed to the moon as we all know is
the simmon for the Jews. We go by the
lunar calendar more or less and the
go by the solar calendar. In
addition, Asov, who is large, who is
older than Yakov. Also, the sun is
obviously larger than the moon. An
incredible phenomenon because the sun is
thousands of thousands of times larger
than the moon. But because of its
distance, it is exactly enough distance
that it perfectly covers up the moon or
the moon covers it up because of the
distance between them. Incredulously,
absolutely a miraculous event. That is
the reason why the go are parallel to
the moon to the sun as opposed to byra
we are parallel to the sun but there's a
very more important connection and that
is because the sun always has a natural
cycle it never changes it's always going
repeating itself repeating itself always
rising on the east and sighting on the
west no difference no changes
there's nothing new that happens when we
refer to the sun as opposed to by the
moon as we all know it waxes and waines
waines and waxes always changing. It's
always on a dynamic mode. And the reason
is because Israel have what we call
every action that we do affects the
world. Everything that we do affects the
people and the history of the whole
entire world. We have specific where we
are constantly changing the world. Our
goral, our whole essence in life is
always changing. Sometimes it's better,
sometimes it's worse. By the it's
more or less stagnant. They do their
thing. They go every day in a natural
way. the world goes on and it doesn't
necessarily affect the ups and downs of
the worlds and that's why in whenever we
were referring to when we refer to we
always pray that we say
that is should always become new
that we should always change on a
dynamic basis incredible one other and
last point is sh which is coming soon
is a den for the whole world it's not
specifically for Contrary to popular
belief, we say
it's the time of the creation of the
world. Who was creating the world?
Everybody was created during creation of
the world. As opposed to which is in the
middle of the month that is specified
for the Jews on rash which is in the
beginning of the month
the moon is covered. There is no moon on
rashash because it's not specifically
for Israel. It's something that is
acknowledged to the whole entire world.
Why am I mentioning this? Because the
idea of the moon which is has to do with
us. But here it is. It turned red. Who's
red? Adam. Asov. That's the
Everything that has to do with as
usually the sun suddenly when we have au
when we have an eclipse of the moon when
an eclipse of the moon it's a bad sign
for us because our sim meaning the moon
turns red. It turns as of and when did
it happen here in it happened now before
Shah which is the year the new year for
everybody it's connected to everyone in
order to say that we are being trumped
pardon the pun for by the whole entire
by the whole entire world we are now
being there's a tremendous amount of
anti-semitism going the world we are we
are being overridden by everything that
everybody is ridiculing and trying to
get rid of us we thought that Israel
would be the final frontier to prevent
us and here we are still going through
these problems and it comes for one
reason is the gar over there brings many
reasons why happens why does a eclipse a
lunar eclipse happens all things
you're stealing from him you're lying
and bathed in different things that the
gar brings over there when we here
unfortunately if I could say in Israel
are acting inappropriately want to each
other when there's a certain amount of
standards which are inappropriate
suddenly
puts a type of a type of eclipse which
we don't want to see and then we see
that the moon is turning red. It's
turning edomdik. We see that the
anti-semitism is is rising. We see the
against us when we work together,
when we work as a team. So then we know
that we are in success. I'll end with a
question that the or the benkai ask an
obvious question. We know that this is
predictable. We know that it's obvious.
We know that it happens all the time. So
why is it considered a bad sign? So they
both answer basically the same thing.
It's a sign of just like we know tishab
is a bad time. We know nissam is a good
time. Every time has its positive times
and negative times. When there's a kama,
it's a dangerous time. It's a it's a
time of subtleties. It's a time you're
walking on a thin rope. You have to be
incredibly careful about what you are
doing. And specifically, like we
mentioned in the are we treating our
friends right? Are we treating right?
Are we being hypocritical or
stereotypical about if you are what kind
of person you are? Unfortunately, here
there's a big with the schooling system
about what's going on. Are we busy with
these types of things which are causing
or are we paying attention to the moon?
looking realizing that we're going to
take away that redness and appreciate
the newness, the waxing and waiting of
the moon is the beauty of the growing
which is now happening of the moon which
will happen through our being able to
love one another.
